The holiday trio, round two: Thanksgiving

In: Anorexia|Anxiety|Charlynn|Eating Disorders|Holidays

25 Nov 2008

Holy crap. Thanksgiving is this Thursday. My usual holiday anxiety is lessened this year because the issue of food in gluttonous heaps is vastly reduced this year. My in-laws are going out of town for the holiday so the issue of having two dinners no longer exists. My husband and I will also be at [...]

Pro-ana goes public

Newsweek has an interesting article out on how pro-ana groups are coming out of the anonymous shadows of free-hosted websites and into the very public arena of Facebook. Anti-pro-ana Facebook groups still outnumber pro-ana sites on Facebook by a wide margin, but increasing numbers of pro-ana groups are now being launched on the site, with [...]

Food blogging: Friend or foe?

In: Charlynn|Dieting|General

14 Oct 2008

Leslie Goldman’s recent article on food blogging made me think of the countless hours I would spend looking at pictures of food at the height of my eating disorder. I called it food porn because, like a typical teenage male looking for pictures of naked girls to satisfy his libido, I used pictures of food [...]

Running on empty

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a fantastic article on the prevalence of eating disorders among cross-country runners. While this is not a new phenomenon, the sport is often overlooked when associating eating disorders and athletic activity; it doesn’t come up in the list of the usual suspects such as gymnastics or figure skating.

About this blog

This is a blog where a roster of three regular writers and several guest writers comment on the latest news about eating disorders. It isn’t just a news feed, nor a personal journal – it’s a hybrid of both. We discuss the news with our own personal spin.

We aren’t journalists or outsiders looking in. We have eating disorders. We know about this illness because we live it. Some of us are thoroughly active in our eating disorders while some are in recovery. Most are in some state in between.

Nothing is off-limits in terms of coverage. We write about everything from the onset of eating disorders to the long-term consequences thereof. We write about all eating disorders, not just anorexia and bulimia. And we write media reviews, short stories, and whatever comes to mind in relation to current events.

This does mean, however, that we may bring up some sensitive topics — things like abuse, rape, self-injury, etc., so tread carefully. We’ll tag posts with the appropriate warning label whenever possible.

Readers are encouraged to comment and participate in the discussion. Just click on the “comments” link under any entry.
